I like the filler. Personally I've always been of the if you've got it, flaunt it mind but I know a lot of people don't like to have the filler on view for some reason. Many try to use the silly little 10mm threaded fillers that need an adapter, that are not only of dubious legality but will snap off sooner or later, behind the flap next to the petrol filler. Hiding it behind the number plate like that is a great idea. You also have the advantage that you can fill from either side of the pump so no queueing while somebody does their weekly shopping.

I don't fill up at service stations very often. I had to the other day. Sat there about 10 mins. Car still hadn't moved. Went in. Used the costa machine. Queued up, paid for the coffee. Went back and sat in the car. Nearly finished the coffee when the owner if the car (that was sat in the gas pump) got in and drove off in their diesel car ! Proper gets your goat sometimes doesn't it ?

Original issues: Surging at idle, hesitation on revving/acceleration, cutting back to petrol at high loads, Mil light illuminationNoted: Jim had done a good job of install but various settings were obviously wrong - no extra injection filter set but Kseries engine, high positive fuel trims at idle, LPG inj duration 5ms at idle.Changes made: Change Valtek injector setting to Fast (to suit OMVL SL injectors), increase working pressure from 0.9 to 1.4 bar, increase reducer pressure from 1.2 to 1.4bar, change map to a flat map aiming for 0 fuel trims at idle, set over-run 2ms- map figures, set 3.5 and 4.5ms map load points using electrical loads, guesstimate 6ms + map figures, dial out hesitation on reviving/acceleration on Kseries using extra injection filter, take for test / calibration drive monitoring fuel trims and switching to petrol to ensure trims were similar on petrol, check /adjust full load mixture, add 2ms at high loads petrol addition to get rid of occasional misfires at high loads, recheck map and fuel trims with standing and driving under bonnet temps, advise Jim car should run well totally on LPG at high loads without misfiring if he reduces plug gaps but after doing so he needs to recheck and adjust high load mixture, showed him what to check / adjust.

Jim said he'd do a bit of a write-up on the forum but I wasn't expecting a thanks message. I only come on the forum sporadically so have only just seen this.. Cheers Jim!
